Before reading the article, I wondered how hot that would be, like 5000 degrees C or something. For reference, the surface of the Sun is approx 10000 F/5500 C.

They're claiming 5.5 trillion degrees Celsius. My mind is unable to comprehend that. A billion times hotter than the surface of the Sun...
- aroberge 14y agoDon't confuse the temperature at the surface of the Sun (5000 C or so, which is quite cool) with the temperature in the interior of the Sun (15 000 000 C or so ... quite a bit hotter). Still, it pales in comparison with the temperatures achieved in that experiment.
